I think SO stands for Significant Others... or sweetheart, honey, love, etc...

Thats great.


Congrats Mike n Marivic

Do I need to show the appointment letter when paying the $100 visa fee to the bank? or just the DS 157?

thanks.

Hi Everyone! Mirasol is at her CFO seminar now in Manila so I am sitting in an internet cafe down the street waiting as they do not allow the Fiance to attend or even wait inside. I guess I understand that, but would be nice if they had a waiting area. Oh well....




Thank you so much! I was happy to share our experience and hope maybe in some small way it will help. I know its shorter on details then some. Good luck to you on your upcoming June interview!



Thanks Cora. As has been said, your assistance to this thread is invaluable.



Thanks for the Congrats! You two have been so nice and we really appreciate all your kinds words. Good luck on the 18th! Your time is getting really close. One thing I remembered too is while we were sitting in the waiting area to be called was that an older white guy came out (appeared to be an embassy employee and I suspect a consul) and was walking around. He looked at me and must have seen the nervousness all over my face. He smiled at me and said, "Don't worry...it will all be over soon." I thought that was nice of him. It's true also...the interview is over in a moment and then all the nervousness passes and relief sets in. Keep looking forward to that feeling of relief as you're waiting.



Thank you for the congrats! I agree...its a GREAT start to May!



Thank you also! We really value all of the support we have gotten and continue to receive here at VJ.



Good luck Chad and Lira!!! You can do it! I understand the missed day of work. As someone told me here....Breathe, Chad, Breathe!



Congrats and best wishes for a happy life and marriage in the USA!



Good luck to the rest of May!

You guys can do it!!!

Scott (and Mirasol)

No need for an appointment letter. Just go to the bank (BPI or Citibank in the list) and tell them you need to pay the fee for USA visa. They will give you a validated (blank) DS-157 and receipt for the payment. You will have to re-fill that form again.

Scott (and Mirasol)

My interview won't happen until next month and yet I'm already suffering from anxiety attacks. I'm having a hard time breathing for almost a week now. My fiance advised me to stop worrying but it's easier said than done. I know I should relax a little as our documents and requirements for the interview are looking great, but it's really hard when it's your lifetime happiness is what at stake. I would be so glad and thankful once all these are over.

To all who are about to take a seat on the infamous "hot seat", well wishes for you and may you have successful interview! As for us who are set for next month... let's hope and pray that everything will go smoothly and favorably!

God bless us all!

Mae

thanks so much sheriff uling, this is very helpful we will be sending an email to NVC to check if they got our case already..and so how many days do you guys took from noa2 until NVC got the case?

Thanks a lot scott.

Question time again....cuz I am an impatient kind of guy....as if you couldn't figure that out already!

I just inputed our visa tracking number into the Delbros site and its said no record found. Does that mean there is a problem or it just takes a day or so to be inputed in their system? I never did like waiting for things.

Thanks in advance!

Scott (and Mirasol)

just make sure you put an 01 at the end of your file number
that makes it complete

I did that, but thanks for the reminder. I just thought since we got a receipt with the tracking number on it and the welcome text message from them, that their website would say something about status in their system at least....even if it just said they were waiting for the visa to be released.

Scott (and Mirasol)

Hello Guys,


After 5 weeks on AR, finally I got my visa!

It was released on May 2, got it after 2 days here at San Juan. But I still have a problem, they mispell one on my middle name so I still need to go back to USE for them to reprint it, I hope they won't hold it anymore...

PW, you can update your list. Thank you for being so optimistic and encouraging to VJers. =)

You know this journey really test my patient. I went to both K3 and CR1 interview, both of them went smoothly the CO told me "I will approved your case" then on the releasing window gave me a pink slip so I guess I'm not on AR right? but then after 2 weeks of waiting for my visa, no delivery yet. Then now after 5 weeks on AR I got back my passport with the visa on it. Yehey!!

Good luck to all who will have their upcoming interviews. And who are on AR pray harder that God will guide the people who are working on your case. And may He help us speed the releasing of the visa.

Kim

Kim why were you put on AR?

Hmm I wanted to be added to the list, but i Dont have the NOA2 yet,grr. But I have not recieved the NOA1 one yet. It will be three weeks since I sent it. I checked USPS and it said that CSC received it April 17. Hmm so I wonder how i can contact them about it.

I just paid the visa fee at BPI...however, the bank teller told me not to fill-out the blank validated form, instead attach it to the one online/electronic...i am confused what to do next...

[/quote]

Kim why were you put on AR?
[/quote]

hi,

i dont know. They just say that they need to verify something, so i guess it's the NSO or NBI verification thing.

Happyinlove (me too)

There are entirely too many scenarios that could potentially warrant further research/investigation on a case. As long as, the couple is prepared, have all of the proper documentation (including the back-up documentation), and their records are clean, then all should go smoothly. It's just extremely stressful going through the visa process because you feel so helpless and part of determining a genuine relationship is very subjective, which only amplifies the stress level. The sad part is that some good people do get the wrong end of the stick. Stay prayed up, open-minded, and in good spirits, and you'll get through this with flying colors...

Cheers!!!

Sheriff Uling

Jeng-> Panel Physicians are not usually that thorough when doing their exams, so if the mass that you are mentioning (probably lymphadenitis or lymphadenopathy) is not that big and hardly noticeable, then hopefully they won't notice it. They do however checks the thyroid areas but not cervical lymph nodes, so you may be safe. However, if they notices it, and would be suspecting an infection, they may do other work-ups. Even if your CXRs are normal, there is a thing as TB lymphadinits (TB of the lymph nodes), and they may have to do biopsy, sputum exams, others as necessary as listed on their protocols. I am not trying to scare you or something, but just wanted you to have an idea of what may happen. If you have colds, any upper respiratory infections, or dental carries, others -> that could also cause inflammations of the lymph nodes in that area. Wear a collared clothes, and have your hair down so it can hide the lymph nodes... hopefully that will work.




Kim, CONGRATS!!!!

And to others that were approved on their visa interview and those that got their visa ---> CONGRATS GUYS!!!

Rea...

It normally took about 5 -10 business days. However, it can take longer if something pops-up in the background/name check.

Cheers!!!

Sheriff Uling

p.s. - SO is Significant Other... Someone was kind enough to pass that on. At the time, I replied it escaped my memory.

Congrats Kim!
Good luck and have a safe trip to America:)

win and abby

Thank you so much for that very well advice. My doctor actually mentioned the TB lymph node which can be a possibility but since no biopsy is done, nothing is confirmed. If ever, will it be a ground for denial? i hope not...well, good thing that i am kinda chubby so its not obvious, hehehe...however i have this one more concern, i had a throid problem history..i had slightly hyperthyroidism but it is normal now since it was detected earlier (2 yrs ago) and i took medicines..though i had cyst on my thyroid as well but it is benign...should i declare anything even if i am fine already, other than this mass on my left neck?

i am so paranoid with this medical but i believe that as long as nothing is communicable, ill be fine.

Congrats to you Kim and have a safe trip.

So Scott, did Willy, the host, ask for $$ donation from you? I hope you enjoyed the show even if they spoke in our native language for the most part of the show.


Dean, I was in Baguio last Saturday/Sunday with a friend and my son and we stayed at Veniz Hotel. Where did you stay?

To those traveling to Baguio, don’t buy the prawns that the vendors are selling at the last town of Pangasinan just before reaching Kennon Road. Their prawn is very expensive at P400 per kilo and their weighing scale is “madaya”. One kilo of prawn turned out to be 400 grams only. I made “tawad” from P400 to P250 and they readily agreed, yun pala, madaya nga ang weighing scale. Grrrrrr.


The areas around Camp John Hay (The Manor) and Baguio Country Club are nice and not polluted because they are surrounded by pine trees.

You'll be a nervous wreck by next week.

Updating to congratulate Kim Tung. Finally!!!

Still waiting to hear from Dave and Fleur. They have not reported back on visa delivery.

(1) I defer to vsmtghdy's post regarding the lymph nodes . I think she might be a nurse or a doctor as she explained it very well and in a clinical manner.

You will be required to fill up a medical form and there are so many illnesses listed there and you have to check those that apply to you. During my physical, the St. Lukes doctor was very thorough with me. She felt my neck and my boobies for lumps.

Bring all of your medical papers regarding your thyroid problem and the result of the x-ray of your neck. But as we often say, do not offer these papers unless they ask for it.

(2) Yes, correction can be requested during interview. Typo error is not a big deal to the embassy. Once you receive your visa, make sure that your name and other details about you are correct.


That was quick escape! Here today and gone tomorrow.


The hot seat isn't so hot anymore when you're there na. Once the consul starts talking to you, you start regaining your composure and your confidence. If the interview is too short, sasabihin mo pa, "Yun lang ba yun?" (That's all? Is that it?) You'd start to wish that the consul would ask you more questions kasi sayang naman ang katakot-takot na practice natin I'm sure some of the girls here feel that way na sana mas madami pang tanong kasi bitin ang interview.


There is absolutely no problem. You're just being impatient It takes them at least half a day to input info into their system.


Did USCIS encash your fiance's check already? I'm not sure if USCIS still does this, but they would print the receipt number at the back of the returned check. This receipt number will be same numbers you will see in your NOA1. So have your fiance see the back of the returned check and see if there is a receipt number. It should start with "CSC".


Hmm, I think the bank teller is just confused. DS-156 is the form that needs to be filled up on-line in order to generate a bar code. DS-157 can be filled up by hand or typewriter.

I will try to call my BPI branch on Monday to ask if they received new instructions from the embassy regarding DS-157.

I'm having problem with the spelling of my lastname. I am the only one in my family that has clerical error in my lastname on my birth certificate, i never corrected it. Let's say the correct spelling of our lastname is "ABCDE" but mine is "ABCDF". From my passport to my NBI clearance, police clearance, copy issuance of my birthcertificate from NSO, my college record, i use my lastname as "ABCDF" as what is on my birthcertificate. The name of my parents are visible on my DS 157 form and mine has a different spelling. During the I129F submission (G325A-my parents' names were written too) i have used the Affidavit of dissesnterested persons as supporting paper. Is the Affidavit of Dissenterested Persons, my father's birthcertificate and my parent's marriage certificate will be fine as back up papers?

thank you po.

Hi PW - Thanks very much for the info and links. I'll have Lina check them out.

I noticed an error in the list above. Can you correct Lina's interview date? She is scheduled on 05-16-2007.

Questions for the K3's. Sheryl has a friend who will marry an American in the Phils. She was asking where does he get legal capacity to marry. I thought I had read on this thread that he would need to go to the USE in Manila and get it. Am I correct?

Yes you are, took me all of 10 minutes. jeff

You can also get it at the consular office in Cebu, if the officer is there that day. Call ahead!

Here is the direct link if no one has given it to you already
http://manila.usembassy.gov/wwwha009.html

TB Lymphadenitis is not a ground for visa denial. Treatment is the same as having PTB. Biopsy will be needed to confirm the diagnosis and appropriate treatment can be started. If your Private Doctor had already suspected about it, then have a Medical Certificate from her and PW is right, don't offer the info unless they (Panel Physician) asked you. And about your Thyroid problem (hyperthyroidism and cyst), are you still on treatment? Again, get a Medical Certificate from your Doctor stating the diagnosis and treatments given to you and for how long you were treated, and laboratory exams done (TSH, FT3, FT4, thyroid scan, others). And again, don't offer this info unless asked by Panel Physician. Both of this diseases are not a reason for visa denial. But they may do further exams if they will find out. So, don't tell them unless they noticed it and asks more info from you.

You'll be lucky if the Panel Physician will not be thorough with their exam. As in my case, she (maybe because she was tired) only touched my anterior neck area (the wrong way to palpate for the thyroids), did not palpate for lymph nodes, did not do well with the rest of the PE, she did not even auscultate for my lungs. Then when she asked me at the end of her PE, and asked me what's my highest educational attainment, and I said; "Doctor po"... she have this surprised reaction and on her face and felt like she was ashamed or something with the way she treated me. She is professional but not that corteous towards patients/applicants. Well, I understand she/they are tired with so many applicants to see and check and because of this, they don't really follow the proper procedures for a PE.

Don't worry too much. You will pass the exam! Just relax and be confident when you enter their examining room. Panel Physicians cannot deny an applicant due to medical grounds, they can only make recommendations and remarks. It will still be up to to the CO (adjucator) during the interview. Have your medical done atleast 2 weeks prior to your Interview (a month if possible), so if they need to do more exams, you have the time before your interview.

Ingat and Good Luck.

Helen

Thanks for the responses Manila K-3'ers.

Thank you very very very much Helen! This is so encouraging and educational.

I hope the doctor wont be that thorough on his/her test. yes, i will get medical certificates and bring records. however, both you and PW mentioned that i must not offer them unless asked to. Thought there was a form that i had to fill-out to disclose the illnesses i had...if i dont disclose and they find out and i showed them the medical certificates and records, won't it be a problem? wont i be in trouble for misrepresentation? it is clear that if i brought med certificates and records, i am knowledgable of my illnesses which i should have disclosed in the form...

my interview will be on the 22nd of may and i scheduled my medical this 10th. do i have enough time? i really pray that they wont notice it so no further exam will be made.

again, ur advice is very much appreciated and thanked for.

Thanks PW! I'm now more confident that I'll pass the interview. I guess the nervousness is just a normal thing... Can't wait till everything is done and over with. This whole process is nerve-racking for me...

Good luck to all!

Mae

yeah thanks for the info, i have the image of the cashed check, and the number is not clear enough. So CSC cashed the check, on May 3. SO now I know I have a NOA1 coming the in the mail soon. I got a long wait if the NOA1 took one month.

Hi Ate Cora! Please update us We got our visa too Delivered by Delbros 05/04 in Bacolod City. I have to start packing now Thanks to all of you who have helped us through...the good advises and encouragement and prayers! See you all at the AOS forum

Coco Puff

Hello! Ate PW, pls update our timeline. Visa was delivered May 4, 2007 at Cebu City. Now, I am packing my things for my May 10 trip to be with my beloved Bryan.

Thanks everybody for all the help. Godbless!


Marie

I'm in Baguio right now I agree, it's gotten so polluted! Luckily, I'm staying at a place that's still surrounded by pine, with only a few (like, 3, I think) houses in the immediate area. If anyone's interested, it's near Wright Park, and.. St Joseph Church? I'm not sure of the church's name.. but it's big. Charges 3,500 per night, inclusive of everything but food and your clothes Has a fireplace, cable tv, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a kitchen. I wish our house looked like that pad! It has a detached cottage thingy too.. Smaller, but cheaper (apparently, it has no fireplace, cuz I see no chimneys).

The contact person is Mr. Rene, 0919 4734536.

( can't find how to get my pics off of my phone. but they have a friendster account! - That Baguio Place!

I think Baguio is not that worst compared to Manila...just wondering where did you stay? And during summer Baguio is where most people go to have short vacation cause of the weather....If you stayed around Camp John Hay or Country Club where most people go I think you might appreciate it....

Im just 30 minutes away from you hehehe....yeah it is cause lots of tourist come here for vacations...so sad that the local government dont impose strict rules....well at least for me I still prefer to live here than any other

just go to Camp John Hay, or Baguio Country Club for a nice breath taking view...just dont stay near the down town area cause for this summer its so crowded....the problem here really is cause of the rising of PUV in the city....so if you dont like air pollution but its not worse as compared to Manila, just go around Session road and avoid the route of PUVs...

Updating list to correct place of visa delivery of Kim Tung ~ San Juan, Metro Manila pala not San Juan, Batangas hehe and to add interview date of Robor which I overlooked. Congrats CocoPuff and MarieandBryan on visa delivery! Happy trip!!!

Sisss!! I knew you'll make it.. I will miss you gurl!! And yeah, we'll see each other again in the US.. God bless on your trip and please give our (Anthony and mines) regards to Bryan..

Jeng, as stated in my earlier post, if there are illnesses that are listed in the medical questionnaire that applies to you, you have to check those. Once you have checked the illnesses that apply to you, you have done your part in disclosing your medical condition. If the doctor is not thorough or if they feel that your medical condition does not warrant additional tests, then do not offer any more information.

hi vjer's..... i am lyn....im having worried with my appointment letter right now....I will have my medical on may 30th and my interview is on june 6....My problem is until now i didnt recieve yet my appoitnment letter which is im planning to have my medical as early as possible...Please any advice regarding this matter.......More Power!!!

HI Lyn don't worry you will have it soon. If u still dont get your packet in case din just print your schedule online or call for a request that U can pick up your packet in saint lukes. U still have a lot of time my dear..
It would be good advcie to go for early medical to avoid problems...

Good luck...

Hi guys....


I need your inputs regarding the DS Forms. I should submit

2 DS 156
2 DS 157
1 DS 156k for myself and its the same for my son except the DS 156k right?

On DS 156 #41 applicants signature-what will I do for my son since his only 3 yrs old? Should I just stamp his thumb mark?

Is it ok to just use the DS 156k and DS 157 that the embassy sent in the packet? I already downloaded the DS 156 and got the barcode but the others not cuz there's a problem with the site I guess, it wont let me type anything. I thought its only my pc acting weird so I went in an internet cafe but its still doing the same thing.

Im wondering.... if the embassy really wants/asks for the DS forms that got done online or not?

Embassy sent 4 DS 156, 4 DS 157, 1 DS 156k

i want to be added too, but still no word on our NOA1 as well
i know it's only been 11 days... but gosh

"NOA1 please arrive, NOA1 please arrive, NOA1 please arrive..."

good things come to those who wait?

DS-156 two for you, two for your son
DS-157 two for you, two for your son
DS-156K one for you, not needed for your son.

DS-157 and 156k, you can use either the one's provided in your packet or one's you can download.
since your son is 3 yrs old, I would think you could sign the DS-156 for him. perhaps others with similar situation will chime in
best of luck with the interview.
